Knox County Man Charged for Humvee Crash That Killed Wife and Friend

An Oaktown man has been charged with two counts of driving while intoxicated causing death after he crashed a military Humvee into the Wabash River in February. Knox County prosecutors filed charges against 34-year-old Kyle Mason Monday. His wife, 33-year-old Breezie Mason, and 32-year-old Meaghan Meeks of Oaktown, both drowned after the crash on February 4th. Divers found their bodies after they pulled the Humvee from the river. Indiana State Police say Mason and a front-seat passenger, 33 year-old Cody Meeks, were able to get out of the vehicle and swim to an embankment. Their wives were in the back seat. Police say Mason’s blood-alcohol content was over the legal limit at the time of the crash.
